Game Details
Features possibly the most controls on one game - difficult to learn - featured many hidden secrets and tactics. Minor classic.
This was the first game produced for Williams by Eugene Jarvis' company Vid Kidz.
The title refers to the teleportation "gates" present in the game- this title was dropped by Williams/Midway for reasons that have not been made clear. There have been claims that it infringed upon a trademark held by a board game manufacturer.
Elements of Stargate can be found in the two Defender spin-offs, Revenge of Defender and Defender 2000.
